I wanted to know if any pcos ladies tried a skin care treatment called Obagi? This skin care set was recommened to me from a surgeon who does my laser treamtent.

He said that it'll be good for my acne scar, my open pores, and my uneven tone skin. Here is a web site of the product http://www.obagi.com/article/homepage.html

But its kind of expensive ($450.00) so before I purchase I'll love to know if its worth the cost?

I used obagi for around 18 months. I would say it definitely helped me, but it's quite harsh on the skin.

I think what was more helpful for me was going in every 6 weeks for the peels and microdermabrasion.

If you haven't tried using just retin-A I would start there. And then if your skin doesn't improve to try Obagi.

I've been through the Obaji process as well. I went through the first six weeks with their skin care line (which was in itself over $300 in addition to the cost of the peel) to "prepare" my skin for the Obaji blue peel. I agree with the pp that the peel is quite harsh and it will take your skin some time to heal, so there is some "downtime".

When I did it, my skin was red, crusty, and peeling for about two weeks after the procedure, but the end result was more than satisfactory. There was a definite improvement in my skin tone and texture and it reduced a lot of the acne scars I had. Also, the healing from the peel forces your skin to produce more collagen, which helps the skin to "tighten up" any sagging from age. Before I did the procedure, I had the beginnings of "jowls" on my jawline that are no longer there after my skin healed from the peel.

I also agree with the pp that one should use Obaji as a last resort. You may want to try Retin-A, glycolic/saclylic acid peels, or microdermabrasion first as they are much less invasive. However, if you are willing to spend the necessary time, money, and discomfort, you will get results with the Obaji blue peel.
